Wasps back Richard Haughton has been cited for alleged dangerous play during an Aviva Premiership game against Sale Sharks earlier this month.

Haughton faces a charge of lifting Sale scrum-half Will Cliff and dropping him or driving him into the ground.

The former Saracens wing has been reported by independent citing officer Alan Mansell, and he will face a Rugby Football Union hearing in front of RFU disciplinary office Judge Jeff Blackett next Tuesday.
